Today marks Day 2 on the Dukan Diet. It’s a little easier, I must say. Though there are still stumbling blocks along the way. But at least now, I’m getting used to the idea of learning how to eat properly. I just have to remember to bring enough food to last me through the day! I’m still trying to get used to the idea of a diet where I can actually EAT.
So this morning I woke up and prepped my meals for the day. Didn’t have time actually eat my breakfast at home so I just took it to work so I wouldn’t be late. Well, should’ve just ate it right after I cooked it cos’ I was late anyway. Ahhh, the story of my life. Funny thing was I didn’t end eating breakfast until 10AM. I just wasn’t hungry. Even then I had to force myself to eat. Here’s my menu for today.
Breakfast
1 egg + egg whites
2 slices smoked turkey
coffee
Snack
Turkey roll ups
Lunch
Grilled chicken + onions (leftover from last night’s dinner)
Snack
Sugar free Jello
Dinner
Salmon Curry ( I was experimenting!)
Oat bran ginger biscuits (I found the recipe here)
So today I couldn’t wait to get home so I can try out the curry recipe that I found online. And I did end up making it but I subbed a chicken bouillon when it called for fish stock so it ended up being way too salty. I ended up just fishing out the fish and rinsing it. Then I remembered a fish recipe that my aunt always cooks. I flaked the fish and added a little bit of vinegar and some granulated garlic and some ground black pepper. Also added a little bit of egg and voila, turned it into a sort of scramble. Which surprisingly worked out real well. I ate half and saved the rest for lunch tomorrow. I also tried a new recipe for my oat bran tonight. I liked it way better than the galette. I am saving the other half of the oat bran biscuit to eat for lunch tomorrow.
Also today, I got my 20 mins of walking and more. I went to Costco for lunch and walked around for a total of 45 mins. I also found a box of sugar free jello that contained sugar free pudding besides just jello. I realize that my cravings kick in in the afternoons so this definitely saved my life. I just wasn’t liking the pudding since for some reason I couldn’t trick my brain into thinking it was ‘real’ sugar I was eating. Mind over matter, I suppose.
Well, I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post that I had made a little boo boo I couldn’t find the scale so I wasn’t able to weigh in yesterday. So I don’t really know if I had lost weight from Day 1. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow morning when I weigh in. I’m hoping it’s good since I followed the plan.
Well I guess that is it for this post. I’m noticing a change in my energy so am certainly liking it. Hopefully, this continues. Tootles for now!
